We arrived into Port Stanley, Falkland Islands on Tuesday, January 28. Unfortunately, the bleak weather and 45 mph winds will not permit us to launch our tenders for the ½ mile to shore. The Harbormaster hailed our ship to advise that their port docks were taking on boarding waves and that it would not be prudent to come ashore. We had no choice but to weigh anchor and continue onward, towards the South Shetland Islands and the beginning of the Antarctica peninsula.
